I know A LOT of people...but I am close to very few of them (been burnt too many times because I am a nice guy). Those who truly know me know that there is nothing more important to me than my family. When they hurt, I hurt...above ALL my son. He has something weighing heavy on him for some time, and it hurts my heart so much watching what he is going through. My son is a old soul, he cares about everyone and everything (wonder where he gets that from) real world problems bother him, he hates to see others suffer and would love to make a difference in this world that is becoming more and more self consumed. He is a honor student, he goes to church, he participates in all our Youth events at our parish. If he can help someone out, he does, no questions asked. He is 13, and yes he does typical teen goofy stuff and has no problem being the butt of the joke. He has a great attitude, is good looking, helps his parents and extended family out with everything. He is not into sports, and is not involved in after school activities. He is into fanboy stuff (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Mortal Kombat, Super Heroes etc.) just like Case and I. Sounds like a great kid Right??? (And You are, he is the best!!! LEGIT) Here is my question? Why does he not have any close friends??? No one comes over, no one asks him over (except the occasional kids in Sunday School) The kids at Braddock treat him like he has the plague or is a 2nd class citizen or something, and I just dont get it??? I have talked to his teachers, they say he is awesome, a model student. I know it is weighing on him hard, and it tears me up. I just wish he had one Real friend. The kids that he does kinda hang with, shun him because they dont want to be picked on, so he has zero loyalty there. He gets along good with older and younger kids, just not great with those at his school and his own age. I know he is not the typical teen, not into the whole phone thing, kinda eccentric, goes to the beat of his own drum, but he does treat all with kindness and respect, and I am just sick of this wonderful person that I have been blessed with being treated like crap by his peers. He should be able to be his self and not change for NO ONE!!! So if you take the time to read this short story of mine, and you have a kid like my son, give me a yell, lets get them together...he is a wonderful person! And for those of you on the other end of this who have kids that disrespect others and treat those that are different like crap...SHAME ON YOU!!! Teach your kid some damn manners!!! The biggest trait that is being lost by our society is how to be a truly great friend, and its a damn shame that our world has come to that!!! To my son, if you read this, I hope this does not upset you, but I had to let my feelings out on this matter. I love you with ALL MY BEING!!! You stay the way you are and dont change for ANYONE! You are AWESOME!!! And like I have told you during many a conversation on this matter...in a few more years, non of these people will matter, you will be lucky to see them ever again, and if you do, they will be the ones flipping your burgers or pumping your gas (no offense to those that do this, I know what the job situation is like around here, but I am making a point). Your family Loves you son and we will ALWAYS be here for you. Oh, and if anyone decides to be a Smart ass about this post and write something dumb, you WILL be gone from my friends list and my life. Those of you that can offer support in any way, thank you in advance and God Bless you!
